3) All participants must study each other's material in advance of the seminar in preparation for discussions on plans for dissemination of other candidate's projects. The participants will be placed in small groups, and should especially make themselves acquainted with the material provided by the other participants in their group.

This might also be a book, a film or something similar that presents, documents and/or shares an artistic result. Prepare a very short presentation for the seminar on how this might relate to your own project and final reflection.
